After our flight, boat trip back, we collected our bikes and headed home to unpack. Kirsty greeted us which was lovely, she'd been off work due to a chest infection. Packing seemed to have taken ages. I think Simon has enough veggie supplies to keep him happy for a long time :-D
On our first night back we popped down to the Crystal bar to say Hi and have a couple of drinks. It seemed pretty empty but we saw the people we wanted to and handed out goodies that were ordered from the UK :-D
Since being back, Simon and I have started our swimming routine again and I'm cycling, not that I've actually ventured out yet. Si has said that rather than running, he's going to hike to view points on the island that we've not visited ...so far, we've been to two. The first was...John Suwan Viewpoint which was a pretty easy cycle to Chalok and then a 15 minute hike up through the jungle, clambering over rocks and finally we reached the top. Stunning!!!
Si had prepared lunch, so after taking multiple shots, we retreated to the shade, as it was mighty hot and sat on a rock and munched on our salads ...YUMMY!!!

The second hike was Leam Thien. For this, we jumped on the bike to Sairee and then parked up. We had just under an hours hike up/down through the jungle on natural paths. We dare not stop due to be eaten by mozzies :-D
Anyway, finally at our destination Leam Thien there is resort which has been deserted, I think that the owners ran out of money and it's just been left, so a little odd walking around as you don't know what you're going to find.
All of the rooms have had their windows smashed, people have graffitti's all about the place and behind one closed door, there was a teddy hanging by it's neck ...poor teddy!!
The beach there was lovely, mangrove trees, fantastic root formations, such a shame it's just been left.

It's odd living somewhere so small (7x3km) and not seeing certain parts, so this time, we are making the effort.
This morning, I slept till 10.30, Si had been up for hours and finally woke me with a cuppa. We headed off for our swim and on the way back home, stopped to get supplies for brunch (boiled egg, Croissant & Coffee)
This afternoon we are both in the office working,
